Grants and donations
Approaches made to the Society for grants or donations are considered by Council on their individual merits.
The first criterion to be satisfied by any application is its consistency with the objectives of the Society. Given this, Council considers its importance relative to any other ongoing or new projects and particularly its likely contribution to environmental improvement or to what can be broadly called the Solent knowledge base.
